Re: Debian FTP Installation through Internet (fwd)
Can somebody help this guy. Problem is that pppd tells him that
kernel lacks PPP support - I told him that he should recompile the
kernel but seems like it didn't work. I think I remember that there
was some other reason that pppd would act that way.

Sorry to bother you again, but I recompiled my kernel and enabled ppp
support, and also made my kernel alot smaller by ommiting the extra scsi
drivers that were not needed but still even when I run pon now it still
tells me:
"Sorry - This system lacks PPP kernel support"
If you have any other thoughts about this odd problem please tell me. I
did have a Slackware Linux box working with the internet before but I
was using dip and not pppd.
